April 17, 2008 - American has voted, and decided there were too many cooks in the kitchen. Last night, Kristy Lee Cook’s American Idol run ended.
We picked Kristy Lee early on, not because she had the best voice or we’re big country music fans, but we loved the fact that she’s an equestrian and martial artist who also loves softball. This gutsy gal showed class from the beginning.
Apparently Kristy failed in her first Idol tryout in July, in San Diego, and in true competitive style decided she wanted to give it another shot the next month in Philly. She didn’t have money to buy a cross country plane ticket so she sold a barrel horse she had trained and the rest, as they say, is history. It was mentioned on the show that she’s tried to buy the horse back but the new owner isn’t willing to sell :-(.
Kristy’s AI run was marked by a number of stays in the bottom three so it didn’t come as a huge surprise though she would have liked to make it to the top 5 (she was 7th). She went out in style and on a happier note Wednesday night, Cook’s boyfriend proposed (or reproposed), dropping to his knee on the Idol set.
Wonder if she’ll invite Simon to the wedding?
